Episode 11 of 15

Competition for a spot at a grand exhibition at the Mall Galleries. A former soldier and trained photographer is among those presenting work to the judges.

Among those presenting their work to the Hanging Committee is Shona, 47, from Edinburgh. She has spent her working life promoting Scottish culture to holidaymakers, but for the last five years she has been trying her hand at photography. Now she is set on becoming an artist, and hopes her elegant black and white portrait of a fisherman is enough to make the judges take the bait.

Next in line is former soldier Toby from London - a trained photographer who also has a degree in environmental science and is on a mission to spread the eco word. If he were able to sell his print, he would use the cash to fund a road trip to Georgia and the Caspian Sea in the 4x4 pick-up he has renovated. Will his photo of a power station inspire debate among the Hanging Committee and get him through to the exhibition?
